Billy Crystal — fresh off a Drama Desk win and the odds-on favorite to pick up a Tony Award for 700 Sundays — took in a performance of the new musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on May 29 and paid a visit to its co-stars backstage after the show.

Due to the high volume of events and awards ceremonies attended each season by the multiple-nominated above-the-marquee names (such as Crystal and Scoundrels stars John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz), many of the performers become well acquainted with each over the weeks.

Below, Crystal and wife Janice are seen backstage at the Imperial Theatre on West 45th Street with Lithgow and Butz after a matinee performance of the new David Yazbeck-Jeffrey Lane musical.
